Now We Breathe For You
Written By: D. Collins 6/9/20
In Memory of George Floyd.....
Now we breathe for you little brother, and take up your mantle.
And, we are in no mood in taking no for an answer.
You have carried the burden for so many of us.
Extracted humanity, and caused a global fuss.
This is just the beginning. Nowhere near the end.
By the time we are finished, you will have your revenge.
Most of us didn't know you, but man, what you have stirred.
A voice so loud, it has now engulfed the world.
Hypocrisy has been exposed, and can no longer hide.
And, for this to happen, you had to give your life.
If there was ever a martyr that actually followed through.
Don't you worry little brother, we all now breathe for you.
